    We are on 16 points after 19 matches.

    So we are going to need 24 points in the second half of the season to get to the 40 points which is generally considered the safe spot.

    That's a fairly big improvement just to get over the line.   

    My view is that we couldn't attract a good quality manager after Alexander left and we had the whole season ahead of us.  Again after Hammell was fired, it was an internal appointment with a spotty record, so presumably we couldn't realistically attract a good quality replacement.  If we fire Kettlewell now, who are we going to attract to come in and do a job in this situation when we couldn't do it on the last two occasions?

    I think that is a very valid argument.  However you cannot go 17 league matches and not win.  If that happens, Kettlewell should be fired.

    There is also another point that I sort of alluded to earlier in the week.

    We have 14 first team players out of contract at the end of the season including most of the first pick type players and I think that is a VERY dangerous situation when you are in a relegation fight because there comes a time when players just think "Well, I'm out of here I'm not going to have to deal with the consequences of this".  

     

    I get what your saying, but the players should be playing for a contract if not here but elsewhere.  Plenty of players are being binned throughout for a player to coast so to speak. Has our previous left back, Penny?? Found a club yet? No guarantees anymore it seems.

  2. our full backs have done well today defensively. After their penalty we were the better team. We should have won that with the chances we had. A point is never a bad result in paisley, against a team who are very good at home. We are still battling away. Perhaps the subs should have been on a bit earlier.
